SQL Server Express Edition Could not install

[arshadjehan]

I have installed VS 2005, all went well except SQL Server Express Ed, It gives following message:

SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .Net Framwork, or SQl Server 2005. Use Add or Remove Programe......

I had installed SQL Server 2005 CTP Version, which I have removed, but it still gives the same message.


Help...
